2. The method of claim 1, wherein each data source corresponds to a physical sensor operatively connected to the machine.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a visualization of the comparison of the operating data to each respective pre-error set-point for the plurality of data sources.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the visualization comprises an intensity map.

5. The method of claim 1, the corrective action including an alert.

6. The method of claim 1, the corrective action including a command signal to change operation of the machine.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying the at least one of the plurality of data sources as a set of the plurality of data sources corresponding to most-predictive data sources as identified within a ranking.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the comparing the operating data includes calculating a deviation of the operating data associated with each data source to the respective pre-error set-point for said each data source.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the comparing the operating data further includes assessing the deviation using an importance score for each data source, each importance score indicating a metric of predictiveness for the pre-error machine state.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising, in response to the overall health metric exceeding a predetermined threshold, outputting an action with respect to the machine.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the visualization comprises an intensity map.

17. The method of claim 13, further comprising initiating a corrective action in response to one or more deviations meeting or exceeding a threshold.

18. The method of claim 17, the corrective action including an alert.

19. The method of claim 17, the threshold including a set of thresholds representing boundary conditions indicating optimal performance of the machine.

20. The method of claim 19, each set of thresholds corresponding to an intensity scale used to generate an intensity map.

21. The method of claim 13, the optimal set-point including a plurality of optimal set-points each corresponding to a grade of product produced using the machine, the determining deviations including comparing ones of the plurality of optimal set-points corresponding to a specific grade of product being produced using the machine.
